Weight-loss drug found to shrink muscle in mice, human cells

There are a lot of people here citing loss of muscle mass as a side effect of GLP-1s, when the reality is that weight loss almost always comes with muscle loss.

For me, that hasn't even been the case. I'm down 40lbs on a relatively low dose of Semaglutide and my muscle mass has moderately increased over the last 6 months. The hysteria over this is totally unfounded.

> low dose of Semaglutide

I thought its only approved at standard dose.

There is a dosing schedule for all the GLP-1s, with what is considered the minimal therapeutic dose being several times your initial dose.

However, a lot of people either see results on these initial doses, and plenty of people find them to be effective as maintenance doses.
